Kylian Mbappe became the first teenager to score in a World Cup final since Pele in 1958 when he smashed in France's fourth goal against Croatia in Russia.
Earlier, Mbappe had become just the third teenager ever to feature in a World Cup final and the first for 36 years, with Giuseppe Bergomi playing for Italy aged 18 in 1982.
But 19-year-old Mbappe stole the show, matching a feat only achieved by the great Pele, when he rifled home from 25 yards in the 65th minute.
